Former NFL player Sam Hurd of San Antonio was arrested again Thursday over allegations that he tested positive for marijuana, an apparent violation of his bond conditions in his drug-trafficking case.

A judge in Dallas issued a warrant for Hurd's arrest, and U.S. Marshals and other members of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force took him into custody as he drove to a YMCA in San Antonio on Thursday afternoon, U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte said in a news release.

Hurd, who was subject to drug testing as part of his conditions of bond, had tested positive for marijuana in May and was placed on outpatient drug treatment. He tested positive again more recently, said his lawyer, Mike McCrum, which resulted in the warrant being issued.

"He's just been feeling down about his situation and he made a mistake," McCrum said of Hurd.

Hurd, 26, was first arrested in a Dec. 14 sting at a Chicago steakhouse, accused of possessing a kilogram of cocaine and making a deal with an undercover agent.

He signed with the Chicago Bears in summer 2011 in free agency. The Bears cut Hurd two days after his arrest. He was out of jail on $100,000 bond and living in San Antonio pending trial, which was supposed to begin Monday in Dallas, but it has been postponed until October.
